Researchers have pinpointed the “world’s ugliest color,” a brownish green hue called opaque couche. Although most people say it is still not as bad as whatever shade of reddish-orange dye is used by Donald Trump on his hair.

A San Diego newspaper has endorsed Ronald Reagan as a write-in candidate. Apparently the editorial board finds Donald Trump so unappealing, they almost made their former President endorsement choice Chester A. Arthur.

The IRS says the White House never asked for secret information about taxpayers. Mostly because if the White House needs personal information about anyone they can always just ask the people at Apple, Google or Facebook.

Office space sharing company WeWork says it is cutting 7% of its staff. Which means they will also be changing their name to AtLeastSomeOfUsAreStillWorking.

A petition is calling for Starbucks to stop doing business inside of Trump Tower. Apparently the people signing the petition feel the coffee shop can still make a profit with their eight locations across the street.

A new company is offering Wi-Fi service on American Airlines planes. There is a lot of competition for business on American for the people who need Internet access to book another connecting flight because the plane they are on took off four hours late.

Delta Airlines has introduced “30% faster” lanes to cut TSA security line wait times. Apparently passengers are just told to avoid lengthy searches and going through the body scanners by showing up already naked.

The FDA has warned Horizon Airlines about sanitary violations because they have no sinks on their planes. The airline says they used to but found it more profitable to instead put in additional seating where the sinks used to be in the galley and restrooms.

The FDA has warned Horizon Airlines about sanitary violations because they have no sinks on their planes. Plus it finally gives the FDA a reason to go back on planes since the airlines quit serving inflight meals back in 2003.

Scientists have proposed creating a DNA “map” for making people. Which isn’t necessary because when it goes to mapping out how to make people, most men already have a natural GPS that hones right in on Scarlett Johansson.

Judd Apatow says haters of the all female version of “Ghostbusters” are probably Donald Trump supporters. Although most people who support Trump actually use the motto “I ain’t afraid of no nuclear war!”

Actor Ryan Gosling says that “women are better than men.” Which usually means one thing for a man. He is trying to get a date with a radical feminist.

Matt Damon gave the commencement speech at MIT. Which is probably depressing for the students in that that he made more money than they ever will hope to see when he starred in “Good Will Hunting” playing one of the school’s janitors.

Simon Cowell says fatherhood has softened his judging style. Almost overnight the love he felt for his son made him go from being a complete douchebag to just an arrogant jerk.

Blood testing company Theranos says that only 1% of its blood tests were voided or corrected. It isn’t blood contamination that the company is worried about, it’s the investors’ hemorrhaging caused when Forbes dropped the company’s net worth to zero.

Wal-Mart says it will use Uber and Lyft for its food delivery service. The only problem is for people getting their groceries delivered who find out all the Doritos they ordered were eaten by the ride sharing car’s drunk passengers.

Wal-Mart says it will use Uber and Lyft for its food delivery service. Which is different from all the groceries that are bought in the store and taken out to the parking lot by customers riding Rascal scooters.

“The Sims” video game has removed gender barriers for physiques, walk styles and voice pitch. Which means that finally, anyone can play the game who wants to go through a lifestyle simulation as Michael Jackson.

Cricket Wireless had an outage last week angered customers, mostly because of the company’s lack of response. In fact, when people called to ask what was going on, they just heard crickets.

72 new emojis will be released later this month for people to use in cellphone text messages. Apparently they are necessary as kids spend so much time looking at their phone screens at school they actually don’t know how to write anymore.

Chinese company Baidu says it will be producing a self-driving car within five years. Although that’s not difficult in China. All they need to do is come up with a car that sits in the same place because of gridlock for five days belching out plumes of toxic exhaust.

Thousands of atheists turned out in Washington, D.C. for a “reason rally” to bring political power to the non-religious. Although the only reason most people in Washington claim to be religious is because all our currency is stamped with “In God We Trust.”

Thousands of atheists turned out in Washington, D.C. for a “reason rally” to bring political power to the non-religious. Their question is if there is really a God, why are we faced with the choice of picking between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton?

The RNC has hired a group of lobbyists to write the party’s platform. Which is a new undertaking for them as they usually spend their time writing out all the bills for the members of Congress.

California is reporting a record number of registered voters ahead of Tuesday’s primary. Imagine how many they would have on the voting rolls if they would allow people to register while they wait in line for their large Mocha Latte at Starbucks.

President Obama told Democrats they need to develop a sense of urgency. Although the best way to do that is to have everyone simultaneously say to themselves the phrase “President Donald Trump.”

First Lady Michelle Obama gave a commencement address where she said every day she “wakes up in a house built by slaves.” Although the way the job market is going, most those students will soon be waking up in a house made by Coleman Tents.

Documents show a Trump University seminar told students to boost their credit by inflating their income by $75,000. Which means he is totally qualified to be President as he understands exactly how Congress approves the budget.

That’s it for now, Oh Faithful Readers! Some sad news from the world of sports, and entertainment and just for the entire world. Sad to see that Muhammad Ali passed away last week at age 74. I always admired him for being such a great athlete, winning the Heavyweight Title several times including one of the most incredible upsets in sports history over a young and hard punching George Foreman. Ali toughened up his midsection and did the famous “Rope-a Dope” strategy where he covered his face with his gloves and let Foreman punch himself out with body blows to the point of exhaustion after which Ali finished him off to win back the title. He also fought against the war and for civil rights. He could have gone into the Army and been treated like a king while fighting a few exhibition matches, but he wasn’t a hypocrite and spoke out against the conflict and ended up in jail. He could have gone to Canada or enrolled in college like so many others but took his protest all the way. George Carlin (as usual) said it best: “The Army told Ali they wanted him to go kill some people but he drew the line at just beating them up.” Let’s all make sure to send the love his way today and not because he was the greatest fighter of all time. Because he was just The Greatest.
